Herb Tea Workshop

This workshop will teach you how to make your own safe and effective herbal teas and infusions using some of the plants that grow freely around us.
Many common ailments can be safely treated at home, using wild or cultivated herbs. We can also boost our immune systems and fight infection by including herbs in our diet. Participants will leave with enough knowledge and confidence to start using herbal teas immediately to assist with treating many common minor ailments.
